An early morning jog for a Punggol resident last month turned into a frightening experience when he was attacked by a pack of about nine dogs.
The attack on Mr Chow Cheok Kai, 35, a bank executive, on Dec 19 came five days after a female jogger was similarly bitten at the Punggol Waterways area.
Since the two attacks, there have been four other reports of people being chased by stray dogs but "narrowly escaping injury", said a spokesman for the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA).
Such attacks are the reason AVA has stepped up measures to round up strays in the area, angering some animal lovers, especially those who feed stray dogs.
